A little rough weather is good now and then. It makes men out of us. Too much nice weather causes wimpification. You need a little rough weather once in a while to kick out the wimpiness and instill some manliness into the populous.Originally Posted by W1GUH

Yeah, the worst storms always hit when an (R) is in the WH.
If you're evacuating , keep a few things in mind . Leave early and go far . The current strategy among emergency managers is to wait and open the shelters nearest the affected areas just 10-12 hours before expected landfall . That encourages those who leave early to go farther from the affected area , and keeps from stranding the last-minute evacuees with no place to hide .
Now is the time to be sure your gas tank is full , that you have extra cash on hand , and to make reservations with a hotel or inland relatives . You may get 1 storm right after another , so we're talking several days . Don't hoard , but be sure you have what you need . Flooding sounds likely , so keep that in mind . If you're staying in an area that may be affected , ice and jugs of water will be useful . Y'all are adults , you don't need the whole list . Hopefully both these storms will just graze the coast , but it's better to be ready . Good luck .
I won't question your Creator's wisdom , but you are responsible for your own actions .

If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
And dont forget your vest and ARES/RACES helmet.
Yeah...I'm a furry...Deal with it!
I lived in Florida for 20 years before I experienced my first severe hurricane -- and then we had 3 in a row during the same summer 5 years ago. That's not an experience I'd want to relive. After the first hurricane, we stocked up on even more water, sanitizing wipes (you get quite grimy after not having power or water for a week), and lots and lots of tuna. We'd also stock up on meat, the first day after is almost like a BBQ atmosphere, cook all the meat you have, give it up to the neighbors.. you'll be a local hero.
We also had a problem with looting, can't say having your gun clean and some extra ammo on stock is a bad thing -- not to be too paranoid.
And watch where you walk, a nail thru your foot isn't fun any time, but especially when the roads are blocked and the hospital is on emergency power.
Of course, anyone who lives on the Atlantic or Gulf coast already knows most of this.
Nope, I just got Pat Robertson to pray it around the Jersey Coast.
Didn't he originally pray it to hit New Orleans?Nope, I just got Pat Robertson to pray it around the Jersey Coast.
I remember someone saying that they were going to pray one to Las Vegas.
God sent it to New Orleans to punish them for the queers and abortion.
I don't know what we are being punished for with this latest one.
Maybe for putting a black , baby killing socialist in the WH?
